Chicago holiday shopping: Find a way to shop safe and local this season | Editorial

2 weeks ago

The coronavirus and its damage to the economy have left Chicago shoppers saying they intend to spend about 32% less this holiday season compared with last year.

But that’s still an average $1,053 of expected spending per household — for gifts, travel and entertainment — according to a new Deloitte Consulting survey. If spent with a touch more than the usual community spirit, it could go far in tiding over local businesses until the worst of the pandemic is behind us.

That’s our mantra for the day: Shop early and shop local.

Many local businesses received modest federal coronavirus relief aid months ago, but it was a one-time boost that has only marginally helped keep retailers afloat. Further aid from Washington is not expected any time soon, even as Illinois struggles with a second surge of the virus and public health officials warn that restrictions on businesses may be

Female Masters distance themselves as more male heads roll.

By Liza B. Zimmerman | Posted Monday, 09-Nov-2020

This has been a tumultuous week for the Napa-based Court of Master Sommeliers, the Americas (CMS, A), as the once well-respected association continues to unravel. The group’s former president Devon Broglie, the head buyer for Whole Foods, suspended just his title last Thursday and admitted to having had an inappropriate relationship. He was officially totally suspended from the group the next day.

Marie-Louise Friedland, a certified sommelier who is now in graduate school, went to The New York Times (NYT) with her story as she said she didn’t trust the Court to properly respond to her experience with Broglie. Friedland has held wine director positions at vaulted restaurants such as State Bird and Quince in San Francisco and was studying for her certified MS degree when Broglie became her mentor in Texas, where

Gascoyne Gateway, a company specialising in sustainable marine infrastructure, unveiled an ambitious proposal to build a ‘green port’ near Qualing Pool, south of Exmouth, last month.

The company has earmarked 50 hectares of land near Ingram Street for the proposal, which would feature a kilometre-long wharf to service the cruise, defence and resource industries.

It also plans to acquire land west of Minilya-Exmouth Road to build a solar farm and storage area to support the project, which would run on renewable energy.

The area falls outside of the Ningaloo Marine Park but within the Exmouth Gulf, which sustains a thriving commercial and recreational fishing, and ecotourism industries.

Tour operator Hal Paine, who has been running a kayaking and snorkelling business in Exmouth for 21 years, said the site was a well-known whale and dugong migration path and nursery.
